2015 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Diesel · MX65 AHV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from significant mechanical failures to minor consumable-related issues. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at at 80,732 miles identified several advisories related to perished rear tyres and discoloured indicators, but did not result in a failure. This follows a clean period between 2023 and 2025 where no defects were recorded, suggesting that the core mechanical components have remained stable over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 41,100 miles in September 2021 to 80,732 miles by May 2026. There is a notable gap of roughly 8,300 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, which indicates regular usage. The relatively low overall mileage generally reduces stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should inspect the condition of the tyres specifically, as the 2026 test flagged cracking and perishing on the rear axle, which indicates age-related rubber degradation rather than tread depth. The history shows a failure in 2021 for exposed ply cords and thin brake pads, suggesting that previous owners occasionally neglected basic maintenance until the MOT deadline. The 2019 failure regarding an inoperative engine management light also warrants a modern check of the electronics system to ensure no lingering sensor faults exist.
